Years On The Ground
Who We Are

Our Founders

Waterfront Group started with twin brothers and a shared love of land and an instinct for the business. Mark and Will Adkins, born five minutes apart in Huntington, WV — played football at Coastal Carolina University and graduated together in 1989 with degrees in Business Administration. They spent the early part of their careers at an established land company on opposite sides of the same business: Will in acquisition and development, Mark in sales. In 1994, they brought those halves together and launched Waterfront Group. Thirty years later, the passion hasn't changed.

I have worked with Waterfront Group to build my mountain house. In the past I have dealt with many builders & developers and I will say that these folks are very professional, flexible and very responsive. The quality of construction and the homes they build are really great. Very happy with them and will highly recommend.

My husband and I are happy to say we're big fans of Will Adkins and the Waterfront Group team. We bought two lots in Eagles Nest and plan to build a custom home there. They all have gone out of their way to make us feel at home in our happy place. I never hesitate to recommend Waterfront Group and Eagles Nest.

We have had a fabulous experience with Waterfront Group from the very beginning. We initially went to check out the property and were immediately sold on the beautiful location and the fantastic amenities at Eagles Nest in Banner Elk, NC. I can't recommend them enough.
